You are all aware I'm sure that there are many things in life to distract us from the simple stuffs. I'm struggling a bit right now about that myself, and it is not always fun. It is hard to do everything in a day that is necessary, or that we think it is.
Work. That is a big one, but just hold on. You might be one of them that doesn't find what you're doing really pleasant, but that's part of it you know. The fact is...It's like life. Some days it's super hard to even get out of bed simply because of all the thing on the to do list that need to be done, and there's no way that it can. It's a pain. But it requires sacrifices and commitments, and that includes to think on the positive side of life. Yes, your to do list might look like a 500 words essay that you might have forgotten how to even start, but hey that means that your life isn't really boring, but rather there are things waiting for you to do.
I just started a new job today. Till now, I am confident that I will love it and learn lots. It's evident that every days will still have its own challenges and struggles though, but again...it's part of it. Hard things are meant to make us stronger for the next battle. Before the eyes of the Lord there's never an non-important day. They all have value in them even if we oftentimes fail to truly grasp it.
The purpose really of this post (I guess, this 500 words essay!) is really to remind you all, as well as myself, that the work that the Lord has given you was/is purposely chosen for you. Through it all God wants to teach us the importance of contentment no matter how tough it might get. I've always told myself that I would always look for a job that I would be able to use what God has given me and called me to do/be. For some time, I just want to go over what the Lord has done in my life recently; something wonderful that I wouldn't have ever taught off.
For the last couple of years I have been working as a waitress and I can definitely say I loved it. I am so grateful that I had the chance to do it, and to be a part of a great team. When it came time for me to look for a summer job this year i really sensed that the Lord was calling to try something else. I prayed to God about it, and it is truly amazing how He can work things out. To make a long story short, in the matter of a week God has given me the chance to meet with this great family in order for me to be their nanny. What's wonderful is that it's basically walking distance from our home! I don't have a car at the moment and it would have been hard to get around, but God made it all work. I am so thankful.
Just to give you all a word of encouragement..I am confident that there's something that God has in store for you. Even if it might not seem right at this moment, don't give up. He is making the path in front of you clearer. Trust Him. He is in control of every situation.
Cheers!
